Fenix24 Strengthens Cybersecurity with New Leadership
Fenix24™, recognized as the leading global entity in cyber disaster recovery, has made a significant appointment by bringing Edwin Covert on board as the Vice President of Advisory Services. With over 30 years of expertise in the realms of cybersecurity and information technology, Covert is expected to bolster the organization's capability to navigate the complex landscape of cyber threats while enhancing its advisory offerings.
In his previous positions, Covert has held key leadership roles at eminent companies such as Bowhead Specialty Underwriters, Warner Brothers Discovery, and Deutsche Bank. His most recent role as Chief Information Security Officer at Bowhead saw him spearheading the Governance, Risk, and Compliance (GRC) program, which significantly improved executive risk transparency and compliance with vital regulations such as SEC 8-K/10-K and NYDFS. The expertise he brings will aid Fenix24 in reinforcing its mission to protect organizations against the growing threats posed by cybercriminals.
Fenix24's commitment to restoring and securing businesses goes beyond mere recovery from cyber incidents. With Covert's guidance, the company aims to equip organizations with proactive strategies to identify vulnerabilities before they can be exploited. Covert will closely collaborate with Athena7, a battalion company under Fenix24, which focuses on IT security assessments. Together, they will provide clients a clear understanding of their security posture and high-priority vulnerabilities, forming a robust cyber resilience framework.
"Fenix24 stands out in the cyber restoration arena, particularly following ransomware attacks. Our firsthand experience in aiding companies to recover provides us unique insights. This knowledge empowers us to help firms assess how their IT infrastructure would react to the tactics employed by today's threat actors," stated Fenix24’s CEO Mark Grazman.
The introduction of an industry leader like Edwin Covert is seen as a strategic decision intended to enhance Fenix24's ability to guide organizations in preemptively thwarting cyber threats. Covert expressed enthusiasm for joining Fenix24 at this crucial juncture for both the firm and the cybersecurity sector. His vision is rooted in a proactive approach to cyber resilience, aimed at fostering an environment where businesses can make informed decisions to bolster their security posture and minimize risk exposure.
Fenix24 positions itself as not just a recovery service but as a strategic partner for organizations navigating the murky waters of cyber threats. Through their four specialized battalions, including Athena7, which focuses on IT security assessments, Fenix24 strives to redefine how organizations recover from cyber incidents while simultaneously preparing for potential threats. This holistic approach to cybersecurity aims to ensure that businesses remain robust against evolving threats while also being agile in recovery when incidents do occur.
Covert's appointment signifies Fenix24’s ongoing commitment to lead in the provision of assured and effective cyber resilience solutions. With his leadership, the company looks set to enhance its advisory capabilities, offering clients a deeper understanding of cyber risks that they face today.
